Fruit Land by Mindy

Once upon a time there was a land called Fruit Land
which was half Happy and half Evil. The two sides
fought and the Happy side won. When the Evil side
hit the Happy side there was a strong wind coming
out and the evil side went inside. The wind blew and
they were all gone so happy side won. This is the
beginning and ending- what can happen in between.

After that...

And then....

But instead of that....

By that time.....

Piggy Land by Hovel. He wrote
a 5 page story. See the beginning and see if you can
write 5 pages.

Piggy is a pig of course, but he can
talk. One day Piggy was so bored that he ate and slept
all day. Then he called his friend, Hovy, to play
with him. Piggy and Hovy decided to go to the forest.
When they got there, they saw a big wooden boat floating
on the river. Piggy wanted to play on the boat. So
he went in. When Hovy saw that he went into the boat
too. When they got in the boat started to fly. It
flew higher and higher. Suddenly the boat was speeding
up and it flew into a black hole. Piggy and Hovy could
not see anything. So they lay on the boat and wished
the boat wouldn't crush. Later they saw sunlight.
They opened their eyes and saw a place they never
saw before, they reached another world.
The boat was slowing down. Then it stopped at the
Sky Sea. Piggy and Hovy looked down. The world had
nothing but magical things and food. Piggy said, "I
got an idea! Nobody has been to this place before,
right??
"Right, "answered Hovy.
"We are the first people to come here, right?"
said Piggy.
"Right, "answered Hovy.
"So we can name this place and this is our world,"
said Piggy.
"Why didn't I think of that? It's a great idea!
cried Hovy.
"What name do you want?

Just at that moment.....

lands in the planet Seven-Up. The were called Rainbow
Land and Monster Land. They are enemies to each other.

One day there was a child called Johnny. He wanted
to stop the battle, so he asked the Gods how to stop
the battle. The Gods said, "You have to make
a bridge to attach the Rainbow Land and the Monster
Land. Johnny knew how to build a bridge so he asked
the architects to build the bridge for him, and the
architects said no because they were enemies. Johnny
doesn't know what to so he asked the Gods again and
the Gods said, "You have to think of an idea
by yourself."

Once upon a time there was Korean
Mongs and Brazilian Mongs. They were fighting each
other. So they decided to play soccer and when one
team won the other team would have to go to their
land. They were going to use a Flying Ball.
They started the game; at half time the Koreans scored
a goal. They both drank water. Then the Brazilian
scored a point but the Korean scored after the Brazilian.
Whenever the Brazilian shoots the Korean goalie catches
the ball and when the Korean shoots the ball flies
to the sky and scores. But the interesting thing is
this always happened. The total score was 79-1!!!
